Privacy

What we collect, why we collect it, and what happens to the part data you send us.

Draft — not a binding policy. This page is pending review by counsel and may change. Sections in square brackets are unconfirmed.

Who we are

1BUY.AI is operated by Sharpbuy Global Solutions Pvt Ltd. This policy covers this website and the proof-of-concept engagements we run from it. [Registered address and the legal entity responsible for your data to be confirmed.]

If you want to reach us about anything on this page, use the contact form on this site and mark your message for the privacy team.

What we collect

We collect three kinds of information, and we treat them differently.

  • Contact details you give us — name, work email, company, and whatever you write in the message field of the contact form.
  • Part and BOM data you send for a proof of concept — manufacturer part numbers, quantities, prices you are currently paying, and any commercial context you choose to include.
  • Basic usage data from this website, such as pages viewed and approximate region. [Whether analytics are enabled, and which provider, to be confirmed.]

Why we use it

Contact details are used to reply to you and to run the engagement you asked for. Part and BOM data is used only to produce the findings report for the customer who sent it.

We do not sell your data. We do not use your part data to advertise to you.

How we handle BOM and part data

This is the part most customers ask about, so it is stated plainly.

Proof-of-concept data is held under NDA and kept isolated per customer. Your BOM is not pooled with a competitor's, and it is not shared with a supplier.

Benchmarks we show you are derived from our own independent market data, not from other customers' BOMs.

Who else sees it

A small number of service providers process data on our behalf — hosting, email, and the tools we use to run an engagement. They act on our instructions and cannot use your data for their own purposes.

We disclose data to anyone else only where the law requires it. [The current list of processors to be confirmed and published here.]

How long we keep it

Contact enquiries are kept for as long as we are in conversation with you, and for a reasonable period afterwards so we have a record of it.

Proof-of-concept data is deleted on request at the end of the engagement, and otherwise kept only as long as the engagement needs it. [Specific retention periods to be confirmed.]

Your rights

Depending on where you are, you may have some or all of the following rights over the data we hold about you.

  • Ask for a copy of it.
  • Ask us to correct it if it is wrong.
  • Ask us to delete it.
  • Object to how we use it, or ask us to restrict that use.
  • Ask us to send it to someone else in a portable form.

International transfers

We may process data outside the country you are in, including where our hosting and service providers operate. Where we do, we put appropriate safeguards in place. [Transfer mechanism and hosting regions to be confirmed.]

Cookies

This site uses the minimum storage needed to remember your theme preference and to keep the site working. [Any analytics or marketing cookies, and the consent mechanism for them, to be confirmed before launch.]

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy we will update the date below. If the change is significant, we will say so rather than leaving you to spot it.
